* PInot noir
Merging the flavors of a red wine palate profile in a white wine style, the lighter-bodied, rich fruit character components of many Pinots give it a step up in the glasses of both red wine and white wine drinkers. Pinot Noir is well-suited to pair with a wide variety of ethnic dishes, classic cuisines, and traditional foodie favorites. This versatility is due in large part to its consistent acidity, subtle and silky tannins, and lighter-bodied style.
Pairs well with earthy flavors like mushrooms and truffels

*Chardonnay
This is the wine people seem to love to hate, and yet, Chardonnay is still the most popular grape variety in the United States, and the most widely planted white wine grape across the world. It seems, for as much as Chardonnay may have it’s haters, there are just as many people who absolutely love this white wine. Whether oaked or unoaked, Chardonnay is a white wine that is just as perfect on a beach in the summer as it is relaxing by the fire in the winter
Pairs well with fatty fish or fish in a rich sauce

*Cabernet Sauvignon
"Cabernet Sauvignon is a red grape varietal known for its thick, durable skin, and the vine’s resistance to the elements. After the birth of the grape, the Cabernet Sauvignon varietal began to be adopted in parts of France by winemakers searching for more durable plants that were relatively easy to grow, and the grape found its champion in the region of Bordeaux."
Tastes wonderful when paired with red, juicy meats

*Dry Rose
"Rosé wines are made from a wide variety of grapes and can be found all around the globe. When rosé wine is the primary product, it is produced with the skin contact method. Black-skinned grapes are crushed and the skins are allowed to remain in contact with the juice for a short period, typically two to twenty hours."
Delicious with rich, cheesy dishes
